The Unlikeliest Duo

Her

With long brown hair

Golden when caught by the sun

A smile that goes miles

That lights up the stage when she performs

Him

With curly black hair

Glasses

Brown eyes

Hard to reach

But not quite impossible

Hard to talk to

But listens well.

They didn't meet

Because they chose to.

They didn't need each other

Until they met each other

And then

Suddenly

They could not survive

By themselves

On their own

Because

Of 

Destiny

Or was it?

Was it really destiny?

Or was it 

Scrambled dice

Rolled around

Or a cat

Whacking a yarn ball

And it wasn't meant to happen at all?

Regardless

It HAPPENED

They met

Anyway

And they became

A duo

Just

Like

That

    Schoolwork

    Homework

    How exciting.

    I think my teachers are trying to kill me.

    They assign lots of assignments

    Worksheets, sometimes a quiz

    Normally I wouldn't mind

    But I'm not a math whiz.

  • Timeless

    I wanted to stay there forever

    Under that tree with you.

    I wanted to lie there

    Live beneath the sky's blue.

    I wanted to look at the constellations at night

    And name the clouds' shapes in the daytime.

  • Irreplaceable

    Irreplaceable

    Is us

    You and I

    Together

    Joking and laughing from things like the weather

    To ghost cows and weird books and crazy ideas

    To fanfictions and emails and drafts we'll never send.
